….on this day, August 26, International Dog Day I am dedicating this page to Frances
Frances came into our lives over 14 years ago when she was only two months old. My husband has always said the she is the best dog he’s ever owned. I say he because Frances is truly my husband’s dog but in the last few years when her energy levels dropped and she was only interested in short walks I’ve become the dog walker in the family.

Thanks Marsha. I think the next time I write about Frances it will be a sad post. We’re taking her to the vet on Thursday to see if we can give her something to make her more comfortable. She has arthritis and now has developed a rash.

Awww What does that mean? How bad is it? My sister-in-law’s dog’s back end is getting weak and she can hardly walk and she has diarrhea. I’m thinking that sounds bad, but Cindy says, she’s healthy other than that. It’s so sad to think about the alternative. I hope your dog’s rash is nothing.

We hope it’s only a rash and that the heat has been a contributing factor. She is however pushing 15 and we know that we don’t have a lot of time left with her. Right now we just want to make her as comfortable as possible and if there’s something we can give her for her arthritis we’ll do that.

Puppy is going to the vet today for diarrhea, so I empathize with your situation. She is 12. I looked at Francis again last night. He has such a sweet face.

Kevin cancelled her appointment. I secretly think he’s worried about the possible outcome. I found some special spray for her coat that should help with the itching.

I get that! Puppy Girl had a good check up. She has to eat rice and chicken and take a probiotic for a while. And the vet said she could clean her teeth for less than a fortune.

Nice to know that your vet gave you an option to clean her teeth. I’m sure that the probiotic and the visit were expensive enough.

Not too bad. It would have been much worse in CA. I’m glad you’re going to watch Francis for a while.

Thanks Dan. The two seniors are over 14 now and sleep most of the day and Olive is still full of spunk and vinegar.
